All-Utilities-Included Studio Near South Park – 891 E 53rd St, Los Angeles 90011

Live simply and save big in this bright, budget-friendly 400 sq ft studio tucked onto a quiet residential block just two short blocks from South Park Recreation Center. With the owner covering water, sewer, trash, electricity and gas, your monthly costs stay predictable all year.

Inside, a smart open layout lets you create distinct sleep, work, and lounge zones without wasted hallway space. The kitchenette comes move-in ready with a full-size refrigerator and electric range—just add your favorite cookware and you’re set.

Why you’ll love it
